oh no. I didn't know that. The last time I was there the place was inexpensive. A 3br on the beach, 1/2 acre, with a dock was $75k

Costa Rica has plan A girls, plan B girls... plan Z girls.

My bro wants me to split a $200k gated condo with him.

My plan B is similar:

My wife and I move to Kaui, Hawaii, where she continues in her teaching career.

I rent surf boards to the dumb tourists on the beach, and sign up as a crewmen for a Katamaran outfit that runs up and down the Na Pali coastline.

Plan C is similar, except that I take a position at a hotel as a cabana boy.

And if we're a bit short on cash, we just kill a few wild chickens (they are all over the island) till we get a paycheck!

I never had a plan "A".
I prefer to just let things go as they may, that way, I won't be dissapointed

I thought this thread was going to be about something completely different. Isn't "Plan B" a drug?

As a software developer, I often think about things like outsourcing. So I have B plans, C, plans, D plans etc etc. That said, my buddy and I often talk about the future of our careers and always end up by saying, "Well, if everything else fails, there's always porn." Okay granted there isn't much money in porn anymore since the marketplace has become saturated. But I like to think of it as an opportunity to become a "Lifestyle Entrepreneur".

You should consider being a forum moderator on a top 100 internet site. I hear they make great money and obviously it doesn't require any talent or training.

Plan A - Disjointed incrementalism

Plan B - See Plan A

Plan C - See Plan B

What is a "plan" anyway? I'm pretty sure someone else determined my destiny a couple decades ago.

Plan A has been the same all of my life. To have fun.

Plan A came to a screeching halt a few weeks ago. I needed to fire an employee (female) for an inappropriate relationship with a client (male).

The client (being careful here....) stated that he preferred the services of the flight attendant over the services of the pilot. Job and responsibility for the clients' safety was suddenly not fun anymore.

I have landed another job, but even it is not fun. Maybe it will get better.

Plan A of living at the beach in Hawaii worked out for about 15 years, but I had to move to plan B.

Plan B, continue school and become a lawyer to make a ton of money so I could move back to Hawaii and buy the home on the beach and do nothing. After all lawyers donothing and make $$$, right?

Plan B has worked to the extent of becoming a lawyer, but I discovered they don't give out $$$ with a bar card. So, Plan C came into Play.

Plan C - get married to a girl I met in law school. We'll that's didn't work out, nuff said.

Plan D - pack up everything and move to South Florida. I'm still working on Plan D. Once the hurrican season is over for the year I'm on my way.

Future plans if D doesn't work out:

Plan E- learn more Spanish and move to South Mexico.
